kutatásfejlesztéssel

Kutatásfejlesztés is the Hungarian term for research and development (R&D). It encompasses activities undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including the knowledge of humankind, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. This concept is crucial for innovation, economic growth, and societal progress.

R&D activities are typically divided into three main categories: basic research, applied research, and experimental development. Basic research aims to acquire new knowledge without any specific application in mind, driven by curiosity and the pursuit of understanding fundamental principles. Applied research, on the other hand, seeks to acquire new knowledge with a specific practical aim or objective in view. Experimental development involves systematic work, drawing on existing knowledge gained from research and practical experience, which is directed to producing new materials, products, or processes, or to improving existing ones.

In Hungary, kutatásfejlesztés is a significant area of focus, supported by government policies and funding initiatives. The Hungarian government and various organizations actively promote and invest in R&D to foster technological advancements, enhance competitiveness in the global market, and address societal challenges. This includes funding for universities, research institutes, and private companies engaged in innovative activities. The ultimate goal of kutatásfejlesztés is to translate scientific discovery and technological innovation into tangible benefits for the economy and society.
